Is beef jerky good for you or not?
)
October 13th, 2014
I was at Trader Joe’s yesterday and bought some Beef Jerky – first time in probably 10 years.
The package says High Protein / Low Fat – no preservatives, no nitrites, no MSG. Nothing artificial, no hormones, etc. It has 1g of fat. 11g protein. The only ‘bad’ thing is 270mg sodium. But that’s not all that much.
I remember when Jerky was considered “really bad” for you – maybe 20 years ago. So I stopped snacking on it.
What is it considered today? Is jerky reasonably healthy? It seems to give reasonable levels of protein – better that a lot of candy bars.
What’s your take – is it safe to snack on Beef Jerky?
